First, start by selecting the "bridge". This can be a bottle cap, beer tab, anything little. Next, place 5 cards on either side of the "bridge" (beer tab). Have the player start on one side of the bridge by flipping the cards over. Keep flipping the cards over until they hit a face card. Drink as follows: J- 1 DrinkQ- 2 DrinksK- 3 DrinksA- 4 Drinks

For every drink they take, lay down more cards on top of the one they already flipped over. For example, if they flip over a King, the player takes 3 drinks and you lay down 3 more cards to be flipped over.

Sometimes a new row is needed. This row is set up the same as the original row. 4 cards, the bridge, another 4 cards.

The reason this game is called over the bridge is because, when the player is flipping cards or drinking, he must take one drink for crossing the bridge.
